=====

A nervous boy in several ways

I never knew the world could operate this way

I was nervous when we stopped to speak

And the world came crashing around my feet



We don't talk of love

We're much too shy

But nervously we wonder when and why



A nervous boy, in spite of which

I never thought I could tremble as much as this

Your flashing eyes and sudden smiles

Are never quite at ease, and neither am I



Oh, we'll talk about it all some night

But nervously we never get it

Right

From the start I approved of you

Right from the moment you turned to face me



A nervous boy from another town

With a nervous laugh and a concentrated frown

I spoke too fast with watchful eyes

Of a recent past and some nostalgic surprise



We don't talk of love

We're much too shy

But nervously we wonder when and

Smile

Knowing why I approved of you

Right from the moment you turned to face me



A nervous boy
